Back End Alerts and Triggers

Overview

Monitors are back end application components that listen for specific events and then trigger notifications. Unlike Edge Delta pipelines, they reside in the centralized Edge Delta back end. This gives them access to aggregated data across all environments.

See Quickstart: Create a Monitor for a quickstart guide to creating a monitor to alert on thresholds.

Monitor Status

Click Monitors and select the Status tab.

The monitors Status page lists existing monitors in an Alert state.

Manage Monitors

Click Monitors and select the Manage tab.

The monitors dashboard lists existing monitors and shows some of their attributes such as Status and Type.

There are four states (status) that a monitor can be in:

• Alert: The monitor has detected a breach of its configured Alert threshold.
• Warning: The monitor has detected a breach of its configured Warning threshold.
• OK: The monitor has not detected a breach of any configured thresholds. This includes cases where source data exists but none meets the monitor’s conditions.
• No Data: The monitor enters this state when:
  • There is absolutely no data for the entire evaluation window, or
  • More than 25% of the data is missing within the evaluation window (when “Require Full Window” is enabled)
  • When “Require Full Window” is disabled, the monitor only enters No Data state if all data buckets are missing (100% tolerance)

You click the kebab (three vertical dots) menu in the Actions column to make changes to the monitor, mute it, or see the events matching its monitoring criteria.
